  1. RSEP LESSONS, CHALLENGES & RECOMMENDATIONS

  2. Research, Monitoring & Evaluation • Baseline Survey across 100 schools • Mid-term Survey across 50 schools • End of term survey across 100 schools • “Stakeholders’ Analysis” study in 20 schools

  3. Program Objective: Road safety education to reach out to 10,000 children in 100 schools (50 Govt. and 50 SEF Community Schools). Target No. of Children Beneficiaries of the Program

  4. Primary Findings of Baseline Study According to the data obtained from hospital records, mostly children and adolescents are the victims of road accidents.

  5. Primary Findings of Baseline Study

  6. Status of Road Safety Education in Schools

  7. Primary Research Findings on Attitudinal Changes Attitudinal changes observed in students since implementation

  8. Program Objective: Introduce a methodology that uses teaching methods which follow the principles of child development. Use of Child-centered Teaching Methodologies in Classrooms

  9. Step : 4 Taking and reflecting the action Step: 1 Selecting & understanding the topic Step: 2 Finding out more (data collection) Step: 3 Planning for the action Child-to-Child Approach

  10. Child-centered Methodologies used by teachers in target RSEP Schools

  11. Impact of Child-centered Curriculum on Children

  12. Program Objective: Increase effectiveness / skills of Teachers to impart road safety training by developing curriculum and designing a training program. Availability of RSE Materials in Schools

  13. Percentage of Teachers trained on Road Safety Education (RSE)

  14. Program Objective: Improve knowledge amongst School Management Bodies (SMBs) i.e. parents/community by involving them in classroom education activities and community awareness events Training of School Management Bodies (SMBs) on Road Safety Education

  15. Involvement of School Management Bodies in Road Safety Education

  16. Program Objective: Create ownership / sustainability of program through improving knowledge of communities and making them see the imperative behind the program so that they would accept ownership of RSEP, ensuring its sustainability beyond the pilot implementation duration. Awareness-raising tools for Community

  17. Challenges in RSEP implementation • Use of electronic media specifically television could not be undertaken as part of the program owing to heavy expenditure involved even though it has high penetration. However use of this media is imperative for widespread publicity educational campaigns; • Teacher transfers in government schools during project implementation period adversely affected implementation of RSE within certain schools; • Teachers needed more frequent learning support and refresher training courses for effectively internalizing child-centered pedagogical practices; • Under-staffing in schools with skewed students-teacher ratio overburdened several RSEP target teachers and posed a challenge in implementation of the RSE curriculum; • Intervention with School Heads and School Management Bodies was undertaken midway into the program whereas their role would have been more effective and instrumental if they had been approached at the outset of the program; • Active strategies of raising awareness were limited by the absence of parallel programs for infrastructural improvement because the children were at times unable to relate the concepts (eg. Road signs, zebra crossing, etc.) to their surroundings.

  18. Let’s act together towards keeping children safe on the roads through education and awareness. Recommendations for Road Safety Education • The Department of Education should include Road Safety Education as a part of its core curriculum. • Visually appealing modes of teaching children need to be incorporated in the curriculum e.g. posters, colorful displays and attractive learning aids. • Local district government should allocate funds for road safety activities for children and communities. • Road safety education for children within schools should be supplemented through training in simulated traffic environment.

  19. Contd. Recommendations for Road Safety Education • Community engagement and participation are the building blocks for community ownership of any learning initiative. Road safety education programs should therefore be targeted at government bodies, education agencies, community representatives and the local school staff in order to deeply penetrate inside the localities and among the people. • Popular electronic media should be utilized for creating mass awareness and galvanizing parental involvement for road safety. • Donors and private sector agencies can support road safety education programs in schools and communities. • Road infrastructure development projects should always be accompanied by a road safety education component.
